The research I did was about 70% saying filter then cooler.

Mine have always been set up to filter hot on engine builders' reccomendations.
If you ever have an engine issue that results in any sort of metal or contaminant in the oil, change the cooler on the rebuild for sure. You can't clean them well enough, and they are like $200-$300 depending on what you are running. Not worth risking the next motor over. Heck, 14 qts of decent oil almost costs that now... You can save your lines and fittings with a good flush.
